Vent Information
A. Venting Components
In order to comply with applicable codes and product
warranties, use only following venting components:
• Hearth & Home Technologies (HHT)
• Simpson Dura-Vent (SDV)
DO NOT USE FIELD-FABRICATED VENTING COMPONENTS. Refer to the venting manufacturer’s instructions.
This product is approved to be vented either horizontally,
through the side wall or vertically through the roof. You
may vent through a Class A or masonry chimney if an
approved adapter is used.
This appliance is a direct vent heater. All combustion air
must come directly from the outside of the building. The
vent pipe for this unit consists of an inner and an outer
pipe. The inner pipe carries the appliance exhaust out of
the system, and the outer pipe brings fresh combustion
air into the appliance.
• A round support box/wall thimble or heat shield is
required when the venting passes through a combustible wall.
• A support box or ceiling fi restop is required when the
venting passes through a ceiling.
• Roof fl ashing and a storm collar are required when
venting passes through the roof.
• Follow instructions provided with the venting for installation of these items.
B. Use of Elbows
CAUTION
ALL vent confi guration specifi cations MUST be followed.
• This product is tested and listed to these specifi cations.
• Appliance performance will suffer if specifi cations are not
followed.
Diagonal runs have both vertical and horizontal vent aspects when calculating the effects. Use the rise for the
vertical aspect and the run for the horizontal aspect (see
Figure 5.1).
Two 45º elbows may be used in place of one 90º elbow . On
45º runs, one foot of diagonal is equal to 8-1/2 (216 mm)
inches horizontal run and 8-1/2 (216 mm) inches vertical
run. A length of straight pipe is allowed between two 45º
elbows (see Figure 5.1).

C. Measuring Standards
Vertical and horizontal measurements were made using
the following standards.
1. Pipe measurements are from center line to center line.
2. Horizontal terminations are measured to the outside
mounting surface (fl ange of termination cap) (see
Figure 4.1) on page 9.
3. Vertical terminations are measured to the top of the last
pipe before termination cap.
4. Horizontal pipe installed level with no rise.

D. How to Use the Vent Graph
1. Measure the distance from the top of appliance to the
center of the 90° elbow. On the graph below, draw a
horizontal line from that measurement on the vertical
axis across until it intersects with the slanted line.
2. From the point of this intersection, draw a vertical line
to the bottom of the graph.
3. The point at which this line meets the bottom line of the
graph is the maximum length of the horizontal run.
Example 1: If the vertical dimension from the top of the
appliance to the center of the 90° elbow is 7 ft. (2 m), the
horizontal run to the outer wall fl ange must not exceed 13
ft. (4 m).
Example 2: If the vertical dimension from the top of the
appliance is 21 ft. (6.4 m), the horizontal run to the outer
wall fl ange must not exceed 9 ft. (3 m).
4. Each 90° elbow is equivalent to 3 ft. (914 mm) of vent
pipe and each 45° elbow is equivalent to 1 ft. (305
mm) of vent pipe, and must be subtracted from vent
pipe run. A single vertical to horizontal 90° elbow is
already calculated into the allowable 15 ft. (5 m) run.
Each additional 90° elbow reduces the maximum
horizontal distance by 3 ft. (914 mm).
Example: The use of three elbows would reduce the
allowable horizontal run to 9 ft. (3 - 1 = 2 elbows x 3 ft.
= 6 ft.; 15 ft. max. - 6 ft. = 9 ft. max.)
E. Venting Guidelines
• The maximum horizontal vent run is 15 ft. (5 m) when
the vertical vent rise is 10 ft. (3 m).
• The minimum horizontal vent run is 11-5/8 in. (295
mm).
• Horizontal sections require a 1/4 in. (6 mm) rise for
every 12 in. (305 mm) of horizontal travel.
Horizontal sections require noncombustible support
•
every 3 ft. (914 mm), e.g. wall strap.
• Wall thickness: Minimum 4 in. (102 mm). Maximum 20
in. (508 mm).
• Vent Diameter: Exterior 6-5/8 in. (168 mm); Inner 4 in.
(102 mm).
EXCEPTION FOR REAR VENT KIT
INSTALLATION:
• The maximum horizontal vent run is 2 ft. (610 mm).
NOTICE: Maximum horizontal vent run is 18 in. (457
mm) when using the HRC termination cap.
• The maximum horizontal vent run with a 45° elbow is 18
in. (457 mm).
•
No external minimum rise is required. The minimum
horizontal vent run is 11-5/8 in. (295 mm).
• For any vertical rise when rear venting, a minimum of 2
ft. (610 mm) vertical must be used prior to any horizontal
run.

2. Direct vent pipe is designed with a locking connection.
To connect the venting system to the appliance flue
outlet, a twist-lock adapter is built into the appliance
at the factory. Wall thickness may vary. Remember
to include wall thickness in minimum clearances when
figuring venting lengths for your installation needs.
3. Female ends of direct vent pipe/elbows are designed
to slide straight onto the male ends of adjacent pipes
by orienting the pipe indentations so they match
and slide into the entry slots on the male ends, see
Figure 5.4. Align the seam of the pipe and seam of
collar to allow engagement. Rotate the vent component to lock into place. Use this procedure for all vent
components. See Figure 10.5. Continue adding vent
components, locking each succeeding component into
place. Ensure that each succeeding vent component
is securely fi tted and locked into the preceding compo-
nent.

4. For installations using a round support box/wall thimble
(check pipe manufacturer's instructions), mark the wall
for a 10 in. x 10 in. (254 mm x 254 mm) square hole.
The center of the square hole should line up with the
center line of the horizontal pipe, as shown in Figure
5.5. Cut and frame the hole in the exterior wall where
the vent will be terminated. If the wall being penetrated
is constructed of noncombustible material, i.e. masonry
block or concrete, a 7 in. (178 mm) diameter hole is
acceptable.

5. Installation requires a minimum of 6 in. (152 mm)
horizontal run of vent with a 1/4 in. (6 mm) rise run
towards the termination. Each 1 ft. (305 mm) of
horizontal venting must include a 1/4 in. (6 mm) rise.
Never allow the vent to run downward. This could cause
high temperatures and may present the possibility of
a fire. The location of the horizontal vent termination
on an exterior wall must meet all local and national
building codes, and must not be easily blocked or
obstructed, see Figure 4.4 on page 10.
6. For installations requiring a vertical rise on the exterior
of the building, the HHT RHVK snorkel kit (Part #844-
8921) is available with a 14 in. (356 mm) and a 36
in. (914 mm) tall snorkel termination cap. Follow the
same installation procedures as used for standard
horizontal terminations. If the snorkel termination must
be installed below grade (i.e. basement application),
proper drainage must be provided to prevent water
from entering the snorkel termination. Do not backfill
around snorkel termination.
7. Position the horizontal termination cap in the center of
the 10 in. x 10 in. (254 mm x 254 mm) square hole and
run a bead of non-hardening mastic around its outside
edges, so as to make a seal between it and the wall,
attach termination cap to the exterior wall with the four
wood screws provided. The arrow on the vent cap
should be pointing up (Figure 5.6).

10. If you are installing termination cap HHW2, the pipe
will be off center on flashing). Ensure that proper
clearances to combustible materials are maintained. If
you are using an approved termination cap other than
HHW2 (part #841-0670) on a building with vinyl siding,
a vinyl siding standoff should be installed between the
termination cap and the exterior wall (Figure 5.8, on
the next page). Follow manufacturer’s instructions for
attaching the vinyl siding standoff to the horizontal
termination cap. The vinyl siding standoff prevents
excessive heat from possibly melting the vinyl siding
material. The vent terminal cap shall not be recessed
into a wall or siding. Remove siding from the area
where the standoff will be located.

11. Place the wall thimble cover over the pipe assembly
and slide the appliance and vent assembly towards
the wall, carefully inserting the vent pipe into the vent
termination cap assembly . It is important that the vent
pipe extend into the vent termination cap a sufficient
distance so as to result in a minimum pipe overlap of
1-1/4 in. (32 mm). Secure the connection between the
vent pipe and the vent termination cap by attaching
the two sheet metal strips extending from the vent

1. Check the installation instructions for required 1 in.
(25 mm) clearances (air space) to combustibles when
passing through ceilings, walls, roofs, enclosures, attic
rafters, or other nearby combustible surfaces. Check
the instructions for maximum vertical rise of the venting
system, and any maximum horizontal offset limitations.
All offsets must fall within the set parameters of the
vent graph (Figure 5.2) located on page 12.
40 ft. (12 m)

Figure 5.11
2. Set the gas appliance in its desired location. Drop
a plumb bob down from the ceiling to the position of
the appliance flue exit, and mark the location where
the vent will penetrate the ceiling. Drill a small hole
at this point. Next, drop a plumb bob from the roof to
the hole previously drilled in the ceiling, and mark the
spot where the vent will penetrate the roof. Determine
if ceiling joists, roof rafters, or other framing will
obstruct the venting system. You may wish to relocate
the appliance, or to offset, as shown in Figure 5.12 to
avoid cutting load bearing members.
Note: Maximum ver tical rise allowable is 40 f t. (10.7 m),

4. Assemble the desired lengths of pipe and elbows
necessary to reach from the appliance up through
the round support box. Ensure that all pipe and elbow
connections are in their fully twist-locked position.
Assemble as instructed.
5. Cut a hole in the roof centered on the small drill hole
placed in the roof in Step 2. The hole should be of
sufficient size to meet the minimum requirements for
clearance to combustibles, as specified. Continue
to assemble lengths of pipe and elbows necessary
to reach from the ceiling support box/wall thimble up
through the roof line. Galvanized pipe and elbows may
be utilized in the attic, as well as above the roofline.
The galvanized finish is desirable above the roofline,
due to its higher corrosion resistance.
• If an offset is necessary in the attic to avoid
obstructions, it is important to support the vent pipe
every 3 ft. (914 mm) to avoid excessive stress on the
elbows, and possible separation. Wall straps are
available for this purpose, Figure 5.12, page 16.
• Whenever possible, use 45° elbows, instead of 90°
elbows. The 45° elbow offers less restriction to the
flow of flue gases and intake air.
6. Slip the flashing over the pipe section(s) protruding
through the roof. Secure the base of the flashing to
the roof with roofing nails. Ensure the roofing material
overlaps the top edge of the flashing as shown in
Figure 5.14. Verify that the chimney is the required
height above the roof. See roof pitch table, Figure 4.2,
on page 9.
7. Continue to assemble pipe sections until the height of
the vent (before adding the termination cap) meets the
minimum code requirements as outlined in the current
CAN/CGA-B149 Installation Codes (in Canada), the
National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 (in
USA), or local codes. Note that for steep roof pitches,
the vent height must be increased. See Roof Pitch
Table (Figure 4.2, on page 9). In high wind conditions,
nearby trees adjoining rooflines, steep pitched roofs,
and other similar factors can result in poor draft, or
down drafting. In these cases increasing the vent
height or switching to the high wind termination cap
may solve this problem.
8. Slip the storm collar over the pipe, and push it down
to the top of the flashing (Figure 5.15). Use nonhardening sealant above and below the joint between
the storm collar and the pipe.
